Welcome to our mountain home! This vacation home is perfect for every season. Its location beside Bridger Bowl Ski Resort and Crosscut Mountain Sports Center is great whether you are on a ski vacation, enjoying a Montana wedding in the summer, or just looking for some peace, quiet and fun recreating in the beauty of the mountains. Bridger Bowl is a world-class ski area with 8 chairlifts on over 2,000 acres spanning 2,600 vertical feet. It is known for its light dry powder snow and serves first-timers all the way to experts with its trails of varying difficulty. Cross-country ski trails are available a few minutes away at the Crosscut Nordic Center. All of these same trails are open to the public for hiking and mountain biking May through November. Mountain bikes can be rented in Bozeman or at Crosscut. Many of our guests use this as a basecamp for the entire area, including Yellowstone National Park, a gorgeous 1hr 20 minute drive to the north entrance.
This home was just completed, in early 2022. We have a decade of experience providing 4 other vacation rental homes in the area, with hundreds of 5 star reviews! We will take great care to provide you with a pleasant and hassle-free experience. We've tailored our home to be an inviting space for spending time with family, both inside and out. The comfortable interior, with attention to detail, is equipped with everything you'll need in a great home base for an incredible Montana vacation. For outdoor living space, we have a deck easily accessible from the main floor living room, and there is a balcony off of the upper floor living room. They give you a chance to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature as you spend quality time outside with your family and friends after a day on the trails, fishing, rafting or sight seeing.
On the main floor you can enjoy a fully stocked gourmet kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances, gas burners and an easy layout built for entertaining. The kitchen includes extensive cookware, bake ware, serving items and glassware. There is even a separate beverage fridge with wine temperature controls. The kitchen, dining and living rooms are all laid out in one open space so you can entertain and interact easily. The dining table seats up to 12 people. The kitchen bar can accommodate four for breakfast or a quick snack. The main floor living room features a cozy gas fireplace and is set up for easy conversations. It includes a 65" TV with Amazon Prime and YouTubeTV for entertainment. There's a half bath accessible from this common area.
The bedroom amenities are equally inviting. The master suite on the main floor has a king size bed. Its en suite full bathroom has a custom tiled walk-in shower and a gorgeous dual sink vanity.
Upstairs you will find three more bedrooms, with ample closet space and dressers for everyone. They share the upstairs full bathroom with another dual sink vanity and tiled tub/shower. The first of these bedrooms has a king size bed. The second includes two queens. And the third one has two more queens topped by two built-in twin size bunk beds, for a total of 4 beds. It's the perfect bunk room for several kids or provides another great bedroom for adults using the lower queen beds.
All linens are high quality hotel sheets with downy soft pillows and decadent quilts to top them off.
The upstairs has another living room area with a huge sectional couch and a fully equipped 65" TV.
The home lies just steps from the Bridger Bowl base area. In the winter you can easily ski in and out. May through November the house is a great starting point for hikes or mountain biking, both here at the Bridger Bowl Resort or on the extensive trail network at the nearby Crosscut Mountain Sports Center, which adjoins this neighborhood and is literally just a minute or two away. It has well-known mountain bike trails and hiking trails.
If you are coming to attend a wedding at Bridger Bowl, enjoy the ease of staying right here in our Alpenglow Chalet instead of making the drive to and from Bozeman hotels. Bridger Bowl offers two beautiful mountain facilities (The Deer Park Chalet and Jim Bridger Lodge) with catering for weddings and rehearsal dinners from June through September.
The drive to Bozeman is an easy 15-20 minutes on paved state highway. Bozeman is a nice area to visit. Bozeman Hot Spring is a sprawling attractive and amazing local place to relax and have fun year-round, with 12 large and small pools (indoor and outdoor) ranging from 57 to 106 degrees F, a steam room, and a sauna. They have live music events outdoors every Thursday and Sunday nights in the summer. Listen while you soak, relax and socialize. Another amazing experience in Bozeman is to visit the large Museum of the Rockies with its display of enormous reassembled dinosaur skeletons excavated in Montana. There is a planetarium there plus a Native American exhibit and art exhibit. A drive to Hyalite Canyon just south of Bozeman is another beautiful day trip. You can enjoy its large pristine lake for fishing, or take the hiking trails to scenic waterfalls. You can also book (in advance) scenic gentle water or white water rafting trips on both the Madison and Gallatin Rivers in the summer near Bozeman.
Our neighborhood at Bridger Bowl is comprised of several new mountain homes but has very little traffic, so you can easily walk from our home either on the trail system, or just down the roads. Some go uphill and some are flat. Our driveway and neighborhood roads are well maintained gravel but we do recommend an all wheel drive vehicle most months of the year here in Montana. Even a warm, mostly-sunny day can get a stray mountain shower (or you might even get some snow!). Pack layers and come prepared so you can be comfortable at all times.
Access to the front door is self check-in via a key code deadbolt, so no need to worry if you fly in late or take off early from Bozeman's Yellowstone International Airport, just 40 minutes away. We will provide you with the code plus a map and driving directions a week prior to your arrival.
